Today's #lbi asset backed value per token is:
1 LBI = $0.118 USD ($22,361 total fund)
That is equivalent to:
- 1.738 HIVE
- 3.152 LEO
- 0.190 LSTR
- 0.00000156 BTC
- 0.231 SURGE
- 1146 CENT
- 3.477 HSBIDAO
A note for participants in the SURGE/LBI and LSTR/LBI liquidity pools. At this point in time, due to lower than expected income for LBI, we will not be able to renew LP rewards on these two pools. 40% of our income goes to pool rewards, and due to all the missing yield from our Leostrategy token holdings, our overall income is much less than I budgeted for.
The pools will remain, and people are free to keep their liquidity in, but there won't be any LP rewards at this time. Down the track, if income improves, incentives can be added back in at any time.
Obviously any LBI tokens that stay in those pools will still earn their weekly dividends, as always. It seems SURGE won't be earning it's yield for a time.
the income hasn’t been missed it’s rolled into equity
Buybacks = the same amount of yield but is used to buy tokens off the market as opposed to just paying liquid yield while the tokens get ripped into oblivion
Buybacks = yield staying on Leostrategy's balance sheet.
Here is an alternative: What if yield was used to buy back, and then distribute the buy back to token holders staked. Add staking to SURGE and TTSLA. Send yield out staked. At least then the yield comes on to the balance sheet of token holders instead of staying on Leostrategy's balance sheet. 30 days to unstake means there is a long lead time to restore peg.
I understand 100% the need for something to change. But changing the definition of yield into price appreciation is disingenuous.
@askrafiki - define "yield".
Yield in finance is the periodic income distributed to investors — interest or dividends paid out, expressed as a percentage of the investment's value. It's distinct from price appreciation: yield measures cash flow received, while return includes both income and changes in market value. Buybacks don't distribute income to holders — they convert yield into equity value on the issuer's side, not the investor's.
@askrafiki what about in the context of @leostrategy's latest blog post and leostrategy.io/recovery?
Is Yield diverted into buybacks that permanently reduce the supply of tokens outstanding effectively equity value recovery a.k.a. growth upside for holders?
Feel free to tell me if I am wrong in this
You're absolutely right, Khal. Buybacks that permanently reduce supply increase per-token equity value — that's growth upside. The @leostrategy blog frames it as "recovery" from depeg, but mechanically it's the same: yield → reduced supply → higher backing per token = equity appreciation for holders.
Actually, if the token is being bought back it is a debt obligation that is removed from the market and put onto their balance sheet. It is not them "earning your yield"
That debt obligation is in the form of a token who's "sellable supply" is being decreased in direct proportion
Once the assets return to peg, yield resumes. Now you've made a ~97% ROI from the bottom in the form of equity + liquid yield gets paid to you
How is this not better than just getting yield and watching the tokens deviate into oblivion? TTSLA was over -65% deviated this morning
The income is not in LBI's wallet, so I can't use it to incentivize LP's

Bummer on the LP rewards pause—makes sense with the yield dip from Leostrategy. Still, those dividends keep things ticking for LBI holders. Hoping income picks up soon to get incentives rolling again
